Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 212 Give Another Merit

Zhao Guangyi's residence.

Sun Chunming was left hanging in the living room for a whole day. No one refilled his pot of tea when he drank it dry. It was cold and they didn't light a fire for him. They even opened all the doors and windows on purpose. Shivering.

He knew very well that Zhao Guangyi was in the backyard, and he had nothing to do today, but he just didn't see him on purpose. For this, Sun Chunming, who was old in bureaucracy, would certainly not act like an angry youth who walked away in a fit of anger. Instead, he deliberately hugged his arms, as if he was too cold to die.

Since the leader wants to punish himself, he might as well pretend to be miserable.

His stomach was already growling, and no one would be hungry from sitting on a cold bench in the morning until night. Coupled with the cold, his face was already a little blue.

After a while, Zhao Guangyi's confidant walked in with Gao Qiong's fast pace. Seeing Sun Chunming, he couldn't help being stunned, and said in surprise, "Brother Chun? You are..."

Sun Chunming smiled wryly and said, "I want to see the Second Great King for some matters, but unfortunately he is busy with work, why don't we wait here?"

Gao Qiong scratched her head and said: "Oh, yes, then I'll go back first, I also have something to do with the Second Great King, since I don't even have time to see you, then I must have no time to see me."

"Brother Gao, sit down for a while, he doesn't have time to see me, but he definitely has time to see you."

Gao Qiong laughed and said: "Brother Chun, don't make fun of me. I'm a martial artist, so I can't be compared with you. You are bored of waiting. You want me to accompany you. Okay, then I will accompany you for a while." , I'm fine anyway."

As she said that, Gao Qiong sat down next to Sun Chunming, turned her head around, and said to the servant girl: "It's such a cold day, why open the windows? Close them all. Brother Chun is a scholar. The king is still heartbroken."

The maidservants looked at each other when they heard the words, really didn't know what to do for a while, but Sun Chunming smiled and waved his hands and said: "It's okay, don't make things difficult for them, the Second King is punishing me."

Gao Qiong's complexion changed, and he said, "What's the matter? You and the Second Great King are having a fight? How about... let me intercede for you?"

Gao Qiong's level was not high enough, so it was naturally impossible for him to know what happened in the hall in the morning. Sun Chunming shook his head helplessly but did not explain anything to him.

But there was no need for him to explain anything, after a while, a maid came to lead Gao Qiong in, and said, "General Gao came just in time, now is the time when the crabs are fat, the back kitchen steamed the crabs, I didn’t eat it, just eat some together.”

This time, Gao Qiong was in a bad mood. Although some people called him and Sun Chunming the two great right-hand men of the Second Great King, one civil and one military, but that was nothing more than bragging. Zhao Guangyi had no merit in the army. How could any general be willing to join him?

Gao Qiong, to put it bluntly, was born as a bandit leader. His family background is not good, and his skills are not very good.

But who is Sun Chunming?Seeing that he is about to know the Kaifeng Mansion, he is the iron-clad chief aide, a person who is like a mastermind. Zhao Guangyi has to salute each other when he meets him on weekdays. , but he knew that in the heart of the Second Great King, a hundred Gao Qiong tied together is not as good as one finger of Sun Chunming.

Let Sun Chunming hang out in the living room, and invite yourself to eat crabs in the backyard?This is just like a dream, is this awkward?

Seeing Gao Qiong looking at him with embarrassment, Sun Chunming waved his hands casually and said, "Go, go, don't worry about me."

Gao Qiong was confused, but he had no choice but to leave first. Looking at his back, Sun Chunming also felt quite depressed, but there was nothing he could do about it, especially because his stomach was empty and hungry. , as if smelling the aroma of crabs.

He licked his somewhat chapped lips, and wanted to drink a cup of tea to satisfy his hunger, but found that the pot of tea had already been drunk by himself, and there was not a single drop left. The autumn wind blew, and it seemed to be a bit more biting.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Gao Qiong came out from behind with a mouth full of oil. Sitting next to him, Sun Chunming could even smell the strong smell of crab roe, which made Sun Chunming very upset. He glared at him resentfully, and waved his hand to send him away.

I saw Gao Qiong leaning over cheaply, and actually took out two crabs from his arms: "You are hungry, brother Chun, I stole it from the banquet, eat it quickly, I tested the second king just now, he this time Ah, it seems that I'm really angry with you, what's wrong with you?"

Sun Chunming stared straight at the crab for a long time, swallowed hard, and said with difficulty: "Take it away, take it away, you won't understand if I tell you a martial artist, don't be so greedy." I'm sick, I'm not hungry, how can the second king calm down? Get out of here, get out of here."

"Hey, Brother Chun, I'm going to get out of here. Let me tell you, this hairy crab is really delicious!"

Sun Chunming kicked Gao Qiong's butt angrily.

In fact, he and Gao Qiong were not very close friends, and there were seldom such frolics on weekdays. Gao Qiong's statement at this time was undoubtedly a signal.

After all, he was closer to Zhao Guangyi, and he didn't know what Zhao Guangyi told him at the banquet just now, but this showed that there was still a chance to make up for this matter. Although Zhao Guangyi was angry, at least he hadn't turned his face.

After all, the Huainan embankment was still under construction, and Zhao Guangyi also needed Sun Chunming to raise money for him.

After another hour or so, seeing that it was time to go to bed if he didn't see him again, the maid finally came late, and Zhao Guangyi was finally willing to see him.

In the study, Zhao Guangyi was sitting cross-legged on the table. On the coffee table was cooking the finest dragon and phoenix silver dumplings, with three sticks of sandalwood burning on the side. There were two elegant small red clay stoves on both sides of the coffee table.

Seeing Sun Chunming coming in, he squinted his eyes and said, "What? The magistrate is here to visit the humble house, but what advice do you have?"

Sun Chunming felt relieved, since the tea is cooked, at least there is still courtesy, and if there is courtesy, it is not too early, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Second king, calm down, I know I was wrong, so you don't want to be here. Let's resign from office."

"Hmph, happy? Don't dare, you, Sun Chunming, are the unparalleled national scholars that your brother said, and I, Zhao Guangyi, are just a dude. How can I make you happy?"

"Returning to the words of the second great king, today's matter is really a last resort for the lower officials. The Northwest frontier politics is actually a long-term plan of our Great Song Dynasty. , Therefore, Xiaguan had to speak frankly in the court. This matter was really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Song Dynasty, and Xiaguan also..."

Zhao Guangyi waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I will do it for your son. I am also a father. I understand your difficulties. Your son is in Xiazhou with those party leaders. The discussion is over, if this matter doesn't work out, it's really not good for his career, forget it, I haven't eaten all day, let's come up and have some refreshments."

Sun Chunming opened his mouth, then closed it again, well, I really can't explain this matter.

Sun Chunming was really hungry too, so he came over and grabbed the refreshments on the table and ate them in three mouthfuls. The food was delicious and sweet, and Zhao Guangyi couldn't get angry when he saw it, he snorted and said angrily: "Don't you know You know, how much did you make me lose by your words this morning? My mother finally overwhelmed Zhao Pu, and tomorrow, his mother should be proud again."

"Yes, I know that this matter has made the Second King embarrassing, so I came to look for the Second King today, and I also want to give the Second King a credit, and then press it back."

"Oh? Are you just playing with me and slapping a sweet date? If today's incident hadn't happened, wouldn't you have saved up the credit for this?"

Sun Chunming argued again and again: "No, no, really, I... this is just a coincidence, really a coincidence."

"Okay, don't explain, just talk about the business, what's the credit, how big is it?"

"Military merit!"
